👉 Reflected fluid, also known as specular reflection or mirror-like reflection, occurs when light rays encounter a smooth, glossy surface and bounce back in a predictable manner. This phenomenon happens because the surface's microscopic irregularities are much smaller than the wavelength of light, causing the light to reflect uniformly in all directions that follow the law of reflection: the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. This type of reflection is commonly observed in mirrors, polished metals, and certain types of glass. Unlike diffuse reflection, where light scatters in many directions, reflected fluid maintains a coherent path, creating clear and sharp images.
